Arizona Fall League: Get to know the Mesa Solar Sox

The Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League take the field tonight at 6:30 Mountain Standard Time at Sloan Park, the Spring Training home of the Chicago Cubs. There are eight Cubs minor leaguers on the Solar Sox roster, along with players from the Athletics, Red Sox, Rays and Angels.

The Arizona Fall League was designed as a kind of “finishing school” where prospects who needed extra work at the end of the season could get some more work in. It also serves as a place for MLB teams to get one last look at minor leaguers before decisions have to be made on the 40-man roster and trades at the Winter Meetings.
